Live Streaming Montreal Canadiens Games

How To Stream Hockey Games

The Montreal Canadiens play most of their games on Sportsnet ONE, a regional sports network. Regional Sports Networks (RSNs) are not common on streaming services, but when they do exist they are usually only available for an additional fee.

Here are the live streaming services that carry Sportsnet ONE^†:

Using NHL.tv

The NHL also has NHL.tv, which live streams all out-of-market games for all teams. Unfortunately, Montreal Canadiens games on here are subject to blackouts if you are within what is considered the team's 'home region'.

If you find yourself trying to watch a game on NHL.tv that is blacked out, you will need a VPN to mask your location.

Removing Local Blackout Restrictions

If the NHL attempts to blackout live streaming of Montreal Canadiens games due to you being within the their home viewing area, use a VPN to get around it.

By using a VPN, or virtual private network, your home's exact location is masked. Teams then cannot determine if you are within their blackout 'range', thus allowing you to watch whatever sports team you want.

Where Can I Watch All Nhl Games

Our favorite VPN service — and one of the most respected — is NordVPN. I recently switched to NordVPN, which is the most trusted VPN service anywhere. I can vouch that they work for this exact use-case because I've done it.

A VPN hides where you actually are on the internet. After purchasing their service, you get an IP address that is registered from some far-away place (think Germany, Italy or Seattle), and that IP is either entered into your home internet router or via their downloaded 'VPN app' on whatever device you plan on watching sports on (phone, TV, tablet, etc). This IP address acts as a disguise to the various major sports teams that attempt to 'blackout' their streaming services for those of us that can simply watch it on our TVs or computers.

Are VPNs Legal?

When used for watching TV and your local sports teams, VPNs are not illegal and anyone can use a VPN service to watch sports without fear of the police coming knocking at your door. The act of surfing the web or streaming shows through another IP is completely legal, and is something even the largest companies in the world do all the time. However, if you hide behind a VPN service to perform illegal activities, then you're of course violating the law - and we would never condone that.

Use a TV antenna to watch the games on your TV

NHL games are usually not on broadcast TV. However, NBC does occasionally show popular games during the weekends that can be had with a digital TV antenna. A TV antenna allows you to watch your local broadcast channels for free once you've purchased the antenna. This however requires your home to be within range of the local station that is carrying the game.

Using a streaming service to watch NHL Games

All NHL teams play most of their games on their regional sports network, which has historically been only available on cable TV subscriptions. Regional Sports Networks (RSNs) are not common on all streaming services, but when they do exist they are usually only available for an additional fee.

Some of the most popular live streaming services that offer regional sports networks are Hulu Live, YouTube TV, and AT&T TV Now. Click on your favorite team above to see if any of these streaming services offer your team's RSN.

Removing Local Blackout Restrictions with a VPN

If you want to watch your local teams online via official NHL apps or streaming services such as Hulu Live, Youtube TV or AT&T Now, you may need the help of a VPN service to 'mask' your location so that you don't get blacked out. VPNs are safe to use and our favorite service is NordVPN.
